The weather changed from rain to snow on the day of the school year design assessment at the School of Mechanics in Hillendvall.

The assessment site is in the school auditorium, which is high and wide enough to accommodate the mechs to run, jump and fly. There is not much time left before the assessment begins. In addition to the teachers and students of the school, there are several staff members from different research institutes and others. The students from the departments came to watch.

After Shen Cisui returned to Fei Leng Cui, he spent the whole morning in the dormitory to catch up on sleep. He walked into the auditorium at the right time, just in time to hear the director of the hospital, Jiang Zhou, announce on the stage: "The order of appearance is determined by drawing lots. Now invite each group Send a representative to the stage."

Sean strode over, put Shen Cisui onto the stage as the representative of the group to draw lots, then sat back down, clasped his hands together and kept chanting: "Don't draw the first, don't draw the first, don't draw the first... draw the middle, draw the middle, draw the middle ..."

A total of more than 30 people came to the stage, many of them took hand sanitizer and washed their hands on the side, while those who didn't took it stood on the other side and laughed.

Jiang Zhou waited patiently for them to finish their tossing, and then shook the lottery to urge them.

Shen Cisui was the first to pass by, grabbed one and took it away, turned it over and looked at it, and then registered at the recorder.When I turned around, I met Sophia head-on, Shen Cisui glanced at her, and was about to go around, when I heard this person say:

"I'm number 14, how about you?"

"15." Shen Cisui said.

Sophia looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "Then I will teach you more."

Shen Cisui ignored her.

"No, let's just forget it." Sophia was annoyed when she saw his attitude, with a cool smile on her face, "Our team's design will be the best. The driver we hired is also the best in this class. The No.1 in this assessment will be us."

"As for you, you can only live below us, or if you are unlucky and have some accidents, you will be reduced to the bottom, or even unqualified. In this way, you will not be able to get the school-level scholarship. I have heard that you seem to be very Do you care about this? Ah, after all, you need a work-study program.”

Sophia's tone changed again and again, but Shen Cisui's expression remained the same. He had no interest in this provocation, so he walked around her and walked away.

"Where did she get the confidence? Did the money pile up?" Lo said to Shen Cisui through the headset.

Shen Cisui could imagine that if his artificial intelligence had an avatar, it would definitely be rolling his eyes now.

"Leave her alone." Shen Cisui said softly to Lo.

When Shen Cisui stepped down from the stage, he saw Yang Lin sitting in the guest seat, and a few seats away was Lu Jingchen who shared the table with him that night and sent him back after the rain.

Yang Lin and Lu Jingchen also saw Shen Cisui, the former blinked at him, and Lu Jingchen nodded to Shen Cisui.Shen Cisui nodded to the two of them.

Sean and the others chose the middle seat, and left the middle for Shen Cisui, while Lulu, the only female team member, prepared snacks and drinks, as if they were not here to accept the assessment, but to watch a movie.On the way Shen Cisui walked back, a group of people stretched their necks and waited, vividly responding to the words "looking forward to".

"I didn't draw first." Shen Cisui said to several people with a smile.

Everyone was nervous: "How much?"

Shen Cisui: "No. 15."

"The number in the middle! The wish has come true! Shen, you are such a red hand!" Xiao En jumped up excitedly, and pushed Shen Cisui into the seat again, serving the master with tea and water and snacks, "Hurry up Please sit down, please sit down. Come, come, please drink water. This is the shortbread that Lulu bought after waiting in line for a long time yesterday, try it."

Exams are not performances, and every team hopes to be in the finale position so as to leave an impression in the minds of the audience.

The first group was the most unpleasant to play. At that time, the teachers were very focused and energetic, and it was easy to be mistaken for details.In the end, it didn’t work either. I had no patience at that time, and I was easy to be picked on.In comparison, the middle is the most ideal order of appearance.

There were more than 30 groups participating in the assessment, and the time was tight. Within a few minutes after the lottery was drawn, the first group went on stage, and the second group went to the waiting area to prepare.

The blocking field is turned on.

The virtual reality technology is adopted in the auditorium, which makes the actual site of hundreds of square meters look more vast.The ammunition filled in the mecha has also been replaced, using light-sensing control, no matter the driver or the observer, can see the beam ejected from the muzzle. Accuracy and strength to respond accordingly, will not actually cause any damage.

The average assessment time for each group was about a quarter of an hour, and the results were given on the spot. In the first few groups, Shen Cisui was still interested in taking a look, but then he became sleepy, closed his eyes, and continued to catch up on sleep.

Shen Cisui slept for more than two hours. When the 12th group was about to end, Sean pushed him up to wake him up and refresh his mind.

——The mecha needs someone to operate it in order to complete the assessment task. The driver of their group is still Shen Cisui, and he cannot be allowed to sit in it in a daze.

Shen Cisui drank half a glass of lemonade to refresh himself, and then went outside to blow some air in the corridor. When the 13th group was over, he went to the waiting area with the team members.

The No. 14 group was Sophia's group. They went on stage with a driver they rented from the military academy. Immediately afterwards, the elevator sent their mechs to the field.

"Hey, they look pretty cool!" Sean couldn't help boasting when he saw the mech, even though he was very reluctant.

The appearance of this mecha is beautiful and elegant, the outer shell is intentionally aged copper, it is completely humanoid, with obvious female features, with wings on its back, lowered eyes, a giant sword on its waist, and a sword in one hand. Press on the hilt.

As soon as it appeared, the eyes of everyone in the auditorium were attracted, and so were the teachers. Just based on this appearance, they showed a look of approval.

"I really didn't expect that they could make such a design."

"It is bold, has ideas, and is not trapped by the current template thinking."

Several teachers communicated in low voices.

The student seats are also whispering: "Not to mention the performance, just the appearance, it should be the best among us, and it will definitely get high marks on this point."

Sophia stood aside, watching the driver enter the mech through the elevator, with a big smile on her lips.

Shen Cisui narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, Lo growled and said, "Didn't we sell that! Sure enough, what did I say last time? It was bought for this assessment!"

"Damn it, it's fine if it's someone else, why is it this woman!"

Under such circumstances, Shen Cisui couldn't speak to appease Shun Mao, so he could only tap on the earphones to signal Lo not to explode.

The mecha starts, the eyes light up, and Sofia's team members push away from the blocking field, and the demonstration begins.

Drones and mechanical soldiers appeared on the field, and the mecha quickly crossed obstacles and shot with precision.It slides, jumps, and has a flexible body, as if a Valkyrie came out of ancient mythology.

The mechanical soldiers came to the field wave after wave, and the drones were also upgraded. Not only did they carry ammunition, but their behavior became more and more strange.It didn't miss any hostile targets, and it wasn't attacked at all, which surprised the audience.

"The appearance alone beats us by several blocks, and the performance is so good?"

"It doesn't matter if the pilot they hired fully utilized the advantages of this mecha..."

This was probably the most heated discussion among the audience since the assessment began, and many people from other departments came to visit after hearing the news.

Shen Cisui leaned against the wall, turning the pen he carried with him.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the current situation of this mecha has several changes compared to his original design - changes to meet the level that a team composed of third-year students should have.

He didn't have too complicated emotions in his heart. He told Lo at the beginning that as long as the money was given, he wouldn't care what the buyer used for this mecha.

Xiao En was next to Shen Cisui, admiring and worrying at the same time. He thought that their group could take the first place, but now it seems to be hanging.

"It's over, I don't think we can beat them, Shen, you may not get your school-level scholarship." With a sad face, Sean stabbed Shen Cisui's elbow.

The other members of the group were also in the same mood. Just as they were sighing repeatedly, the mecha came not far from them, and strangled the mecha soldier neatly.

Demo complete.

The teachers sitting in the audience scored this game.

Ten seconds later, the comprehensive score was announced on the big screen: 97.8 points.

The [-]-point system, this is the highest score at present, and it is also the highest score that has appeared in the annual assessment of the mech design major in the past ten years.

Sophia stood among her team members, raised her jaw at Shen Cisui, and looked provocatively.

"It will definitely not be surpassed!" The girl beside Sophia laughed.

"Of course." Sophia smiled.

The people in the audience had mixed emotions about this. After all, Sophia was warned and punished for illegally robbing the laboratory not long ago... But within a few seconds, someone took the lead in applauding.

One infects the other, and the applause is like thunder.

The next group is Shen Cisui and the others.

Xiao En sent him to the front of the mech with a sad face, patted his shoulder and said, "I don't care how many points I get, but your scholarship... hey, just do your best, don't be too sad."

"I'm not sad, it may not be better than that one." Shen Cisui said.

"Why? We have a lot of shortcomings!" Sean didn't believe it.

Shen Cisui smiled, without explaining, took off his coat and handed it to him, and boarded the elevator.

The cockpit door is closed.Shen Cisui sat on the seat, hung his hands on the operating table, and raised his eyes to look forward.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong!

Meanwhile, Lo angrily yelled into the headset: "Someone moved the sight and scope!"

"It wasn't touched, it was directly destroyed." Shen Cisui corrected his words. At this time, he looked very calm.

Lo's emotions were much richer than his, and he was almost furious: "Damn! It's definitely Sophia's group, this ****... take the first double insurance! What should we do?"

"It's fine to aim manually." Shen Cisui quickly adjusted the mode, his tone indifferent.

"This... the actual distance is not far, but the optical adjustment has been made in the auditorium, and the drone on the opposite side looks as if it flew from an alien. Do you really need to manually do it?" Lo felt that it was outrageous.

Shen Cisui hooked his lower lip, and said in a clear voice, "It's not like I haven't done this before."

The countdown to the beginning of the demonstration was jumping, and the sound of beeping resounded throughout the audience. Lo recalled the devil training that Shen Cisui had undergone under his teacher and senior brothers before. For the surveillance last night, they must have done it after Sean and the others sent the mecha to the storage place."

Shen Cisui let out a "hmm".

The countdown number jumped to 1, and then, it officially started.

Lo's statement is not accurate, the distance observed by the eyes is actually not as far away as from the aliens - although it is not close.Shen Cisui closed one eye, and manipulated the dark silver assassin into the air, aiming the muzzle at the drone coming from a distance.The guy was just a black dot in his field of vision, and he stared at it, tapping his fingers quickly on the console.

After 0.01 seconds, the mecha exposed its muzzle and sprayed out an eye-scorching beam of light, burning from one end to the other, overturning the drone steadily and ruthlessly!

Boom!

Terrifying.

Shen Cisui didn't show too much emotion on his face, his fingers were flying up and down, so fast that only afterimages could be seen.Following his operation, the mecha turned around abruptly, and kicked the mechanical soldier approaching from behind to the distance with a spin kick.

Assassins are good at melee combat. If they are really used on the battlefield, they will not encounter too many threats from long distances. However, this is an untargeted test, and the drones are constantly flowing and upgrading.

Manual aiming takes a lot of energy, especially in the high-frequency next-time accuracy, without wasting any attack, and dealing with the nearby mechanical soldiers. In the second half of the exercise, Shen Cisui was sweating profusely.

But his eyes are amazingly bright, his back is straight, and his operation speed is getting faster and faster.

He is speeding up the battle tempo.Originally, the Assassin's battery life wasn't too good, and a quick victory was his initial plan.

"13123, 23787." Lo reported a coordinate to Shen Cisui. While checking the monitoring, it invaded the college system. After a while of calculation, it calculated the location and movement of each drone and each mechanical soldier Tracks are under control.

"Thank you." Shen Cisui said softly, and quickly adjusted the direction of the muzzle according to the coordinates it provided.

boom--

Another drone fell from the sky, and the bomb carried on it fell down, hitting the mechanical soldiers on the ground impartially, and then exploded.

A beautiful double play.

Lo reported another coordinate, and then said to Shen Cisui: "Why don't you let me take over."

"That's a split operation. There are too many people here, which may expose you." Shen Cisui refused without hesitation.

Lo thinks about it too, and doesn't mention this anymore.

There are more and more mechanical soldiers, and once these things lock onto the target, they will follow them stupidly.

Entering the final stage, Shen Cisui resorted to the strategy of attracting monsters, took them around the field a few times, used drones and bombs to clean up parts, and then hid behind the "bunker".

All the muzzles on the assassin's body poked their heads out, firing wildly.

Clear the field directly, without missing a single one.

Shen Cisui did not relax.

"567, 769." Lo reported a coordinate.

The assassin turned.

A mechanical soldier larger than those that appeared before appeared in Shen Cisui's field of vision.

The boss is here.

Shen Cisui activated the concealment function for the first time, and the dark silver mecha disappeared on the training field, while the mechanical soldiers followed the established route.

Lo reported the coordinates again, which was the location where the mechanical soldiers would arrive in five seconds.

The invisible assassins ambushed nearby in advance, and when the mechanical soldiers appeared, they attacked swiftly and neatly from behind!

This mechanical soldier is smarter than the previous one, and its defensive armor is even better. The scimitar in the assassin's hand failed to kill it in one blow, and it immediately retreated, dodging to fight back.

The next second, the assassin raised his other hand.

In the original design, this hand was supposed to hold a scimitar, but Hara Hoshino pointed out that it was wrong. Shen Cisui went to the Guard Bureau to find inspiration, drew pictures overnight, modified the design, and replaced the scimitar with a hook line.

But the hook was thrown out of the assassin's hand like lightning, hooked into the junction of the mechanical soldier's head and neck, and dragged it back fiercely!

The hook was not only used for this purpose, the mechanical soldier was also shocked by the energy flooding it, and lost his mobility for a while.

It was within this short period of time that the previous scimitar came out again, quickly cutting off the head of the mechanical soldier.

The demo is over.

"This is - making the game real!" Someone in the audience yelled.

"Ordinary people think this way, Shen Cisui, you guys are awesome!"

"It's awesome!"

Many people are screaming.

A teacher in charge of the assessment said with a smile: "Compared to the previous group, the appearance of the assassins is indeed not too brilliant, but the assassins just want to hide in the crowd without being discovered, which fits the positioning."

Lu Jingchen next to him pushed down his glasses and said, "Have you noticed? In the final boss battle, he could have ended it with the first strike, but he didn't, but withdrew his strength."

"Yes, this is to show us the greatest advantage of this 'assassin'." Jiang Zhou nodded in agreement, "Can this be called field control ability?"

"It's a kind of reverse thinking. I haven't seen such a design for many years. If it is used on the battlefield, it may really be able to win by surprise." Someone said.

Next is scoring.

Shen Cisui leaned on the back of the chair panting lightly, waiting for the result.

"I understand the rules of these people's scoring. 'Valkyrie' is excellent in all aspects, but it is precisely because it is excellent in all aspects that it does not seem to stand out. If this is a purely machine evaluation, its score must be higher than that of the machine. Assassin is high, but this is a manual assessment, and everyone is very subjective." Shen Cisui knew that Lo was worried, and whispered to it.

Lo gave a small "oh" and told Shen Cisui what it found there.

Its voice fell to the ground, and the score was announced on the screen——

98.3.

0.5 points higher than the previous group!

Unexpected, but it seems reasonable again.

Xiao En and the others were so excited that they became screaming chickens, jumped into the blocking field, slapped the assassin's mechanical legs, and yelled: "Did you see it? We won! We won!"

He also said: "Come out, come out, let's go eat hot pot to celebrate!"

Offstage, Sophia stared at the score on the screen with wide eyes, with a look of disbelief.Seemingly confirming that this was true, she turned her gaze to the assassin, stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "Dean, vice president, all directors and professors, I don't agree with this difference in scores!"

"Your work is excellent in every single item, and its appearance is eye-catching, but overall, it is slightly inferior in terms of combat characteristics." A professor turned to her and said.

"Whether it is continuous combat ability or defensive ability, this one is inferior to our Valkyrie." Sophia said loudly, "I remember that in the design assessment of the 3110th school year of our school, there were two groups of teams who did not agree with the difference in scores. , a precedent for a re-test, now, I am here to request the winner to be determined through the test!"

Sean rolled his eyes at her: "You girl, you know—"

"Don't dare to compare?" Sophia sneered, "Is it because you know that your mechs will never be able to defeat the Valkyrie in the arena?"

"you--"

Seeing that Xiao En was about to scold in public, Shen Cisui stopped him and said, "Let's compare."

Although his complexion looked a little pale, he was full of energy and his concentration was at its peak. He moved his wrist and said with a smile, "I haven't compared this with anyone yet."

Now that both parties have agreed, the Valkyrie is sent back to the field.Because of such a precedent, the academy made preparations in advance, and the layout of the venue changed quickly.

Going back to the competition, it is not a battle between mechas and mechas. To be honest, it may be a bit like a racing car. Whoever kills the last mechanical soldier or drone first wins.

This kind of scene is the favorite of the spectators. In just a few minutes, the number of people in the auditorium doubled.

The Assassin and the Valkyrie recharge their energy respectively, and when the preparation time is over, they rush out of the initial line at the same time.

Lo reported the coordinates of the drone to Shen Cisui in the headset, and he manually adjusted the turret, still shooting with incomparable precision, but after he shot down two in succession, something happened——

At a distance of more than ten meters from the assassin, the Valkyrie strangled the mechanical soldier. Just after the action, the mecha stopped moving.

The new mechanical soldiers approached it while shooting. It completely lost its previous maneuverability and stood still, letting the attack hit its body.

"How is this going?"

"Did something go wrong?"

"That's not how you attract monsters!"

People in the audience were puzzled, and the mecha on the stage seemed to stand like a statue of a Valkyrie, but it just didn't move.

This situation lasted for seven or eight seconds.

Seven or eight seconds later, a strange sound came from the mech, followed by

"The fire control system is not right, the temperature can't drop, this mech is estimated to explode in a few minutes! There are also problems in other places, the hatch cannot be opened, the rescue cabin is locked, and it is impossible to escape from the inside, please Help!"

These words were like a thunderbolt, and the entire auditorium was silent, as if frozen.

Sophia's group stood outside the blocking field, stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they frantically opened the control panel of the mecha on the terminal, tapping the screen with their fingers, but after ten seconds passed, the mecha not only did not open the door , On the contrary, smoke visible to the naked eye rose.

The boy in the cockpit repeated his plea for help, his voice trembling like crying.

The teachers in the audience got up one after another, but they sat too far away, and there were rows of seats blocking them. In addition, there were many obstacles in the field, and it took a lot of time to run and sprint over.

Shen Cisui is the closest to the boys.

The assassin glides past within a second.

"Report the temperature." Shen Cisui came out of the assassin and walked to the side of the Valkyrie.He was only wearing a sweater, his neck was exposed when he raised his head, his brows were calm and calm.

The person inside replied: "45...50 degrees Celsius!"

Shen Cisui said again: "Don't panic, find the black dot right above the seat and recessed into the wall, that's the spare switch of the overload protection device, press it."

From the sound coming out of the speaker, it can be judged that the boy followed suit. After a while, he said in confusion: "I pressed it, but it didn't seem to work...The temperature is still rising, and it's 57 now!"

Of course it didn't work, because it was a decoration, purely a placebo.

"Wait patiently for three seconds, it needs time to start." Shen Cisui said without changing his face, and then, his fingers groped a few times on the hot outer wall of the Valkyrie, and pulled hard.

"Okay, then how can I cooperate with you now?" The boy's tone really calmed down a lot.

As soon as he finished speaking——

pat.

It's the sound of the machine's bite, which is relatively crisp.

In the next second, there was a loud bang, and the cockpit door collapsed.

Shen Cisui took a few steps back to avoid it, stood in the dust, and shouted to the people inside: "Come out!"

The boy jumped out without saying a word.

But the crisis was not completely resolved, and the mech was still in danger of exploding. Shen Cisui borrowed strength from the nearby assassins and climbed into the cockpit of the Valkyrie.

He saw another person coming in at the same time as him, Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen saw the process of Shen Cisui rescuing the boy just now. He already knew that Shen Cisui was very familiar with this mech and believed in his ability, but he couldn't avoid worrying.

He and Shen Cisui stood side by side in front of the console, repairing the overheated mecha.

The external speaker was not turned off, and Lu Jingchen's voice could be heard clearly in every corner of the auditorium.

"When the mech designer is designing, he usually leaves a back door for himself in case of emergency. You can open the cockpit through this back door." Lu Jingchen's voice was gentle with a smile, and his words were affirmative, " So, the designer of this mecha is actually you."

The author has something to say:

The original boss: this, no, yes, strength

Gong Ya: Young Master, this is the green dress that Mr. Shen wanted to buy but you refused to buy it that day. Do you want to keep it?
